I used to do this on Windows XP to make my desktop look cleaner, all the files were ALT+255 repeated N times, or, more accurately, repeated a random number of times.

But then how did you access those files yourself, if their names looked like just spaces? Would they not be invisible to you too?
I guess they did it with icons.
Makes sense, should have thought of it. Maybe I didn't because I am more of a backend and command line guy.
